I'm pretty pissed about the Proton Rifle. I was looking really forward to using it.

Am I the only one confused about this change?
The laser rifle were pretty high up in the tree anyway, while the iconic E11 remains a "newbie" rifleman weapon...

No, it shouldn't. We wookiees are a nerfed race, we get less armor than everybody else (with the exception of Ithorians) and we can't even use some rewards/quest items in game (pilot rewards, for example). The bowcaster is just a way to make up for this. If they removed racial restriction on them, I'd be seriously p!ssed! According to SW-lore, non-wookiees are not strong enough to even load a bowcaster, let alone fire one.
And they had to make 3 of them, because the (light) bowcaster can be used without Novice Marksman. This would put Riflemen wookiees at a disadvantage. The Tier IV Marksman Recon Bowcaster is good for going up to Novice Rifleman until you get a new weapon cert, and the Assault bowcaster is just a neat little thing to make up for the years of Master Riflewookiees having to use anything else than their racial weapon!
The bowcaster is not "better" than any other rifle. They don't give us an "edge". Just think of the recon bowcaster as an SG82 with a "fluff" skin and the assault bowcaster as a T21 with a "fluff" skin. You don't miss out on anything. But we just got something to make up for what WE have to do without....

im hoping extended appearence means... with a stock...
I guess having a stocked T21 will have to make up for not getting the Proton rifle 
is the LD1 the AI AWP lookylike? we got a cert for that yet?

Yes, but that's what's so confusing.
Why do that with the laser rifle, while the E11 is in such a poor shape as it is? The laser rifle already was pretty high up, but the E11 remains low with no "higher level version".
